Thrifted “Bathroom” Door

November 6, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

I have been wanting to show you this thrifted beauty of a “bathroom” door for sometime now. I almost have our master bathroom done, so I figured this is a good time to show you THE “bathroom” door. You are gonna love her!!

You KNOW how I love to shop thrift stores, right?? Well, I kept telling my Hubby I wanted a door for the bathroom. He was so confused, because the master bathroom DOES have a door.

I finally found this beauty, back in June. She was sitting in the back of the thrift store just waiting for me to buy her.

I know, for $20 how could I pass her up, right??? She was just what I wanted for the bathroom. With a little clean up and some paint, she would fit perfectly in the bathroom.

Isn’t she amazing?? She fits right along with my beach striped hamper!!

That’s why I needed a “bathroom” door. Not to open and close, but just to sit and look pretty.

Using Antique Coral from Valspar, I painted the panels and frame of the door. The routed frame is painted with a flat white. (If you remember, I have also used the same Antique Coral to paint my thrifted table and chairs)

The door knob is actually a purchase from Hobby Lobby. Doesn’t she fit just perfectly in our master bathroom? She doesn’t need to be hung or even need hinges. She looks amazing just leaning against the wall, next to the hamper.

I knew you would like my thrifted “bathroom” door as much as I do. Do you have a random door in your house, too?? Tell me about it!!

DIY Beach Striped Hamper

October 29, 2013 By Meegan 2 Comments

Recently I have been working on our master bathroom. It has been looking a little boring, so it needed some refreshing. I am happy to report she is almost done.

One of the final touches is this DIY Beach Striped Hamper.

It looks pretty good, right? Hubby’s favorite color is orange, so I compromised and used an Antique Coral.

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover

July 25, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′]

Hello! Remember when I told you about trying to bringing a more masculine feel without losing my taste? That’s what I did with this bathroom tray beach stripe makeover.

I do want to make it clear this has not been Hubby’s idea at all. It is all from me. Hubby loves when he comes home from work and there is something changed or moved around. He NEVER complains. This new look is all my idea.

Let’s get to it…

My cute friend, Lynn saw this tray and thought of me. Naturally, because it’s blue. It is perfect size for our master bathroom counter. But I am changing the colors and style a little in there.

So I got out some paint and got to work.

Using a flat white paint, I dry brushed the whole tray. I liked that the blue is peeking through. It looks like more layers of paint, and aged.

Over that I painted various sizes of stripes with Valspar Antique Coral. (I chose a coral color, because Hubby loves orange. This helps bring his taste into our home.) Again, I used a dry brush with little paint. This gives a worn look. Just what I was hoping for.

I decided to even paint a narrow stripe around the side. Each stripe was painted freehanded.

My “new” tray looks great holding our q-tips and cotton in woven baskets (with blue stripes), along with my air plant terrarium made by my friend, Sherry.

I had so much fun with this Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover. Bringing a new look and style just takes a little imagination and sometimes a little paint.

What are you going to makeover soon? I would love to hear about it!

Before I forget…Did you notice my new slide show at the top of this post? Fun, huh?? More new gadgets to make my blog reader friendly coming soon…
